Lihue, Kauai, Hawaii – Marriott Golf, one of the world\u2019s biggest golf operators, recently debuted the elevated Kiele golf experience at Kauai Lagoons Golf Club with the much anticipated re-opening of the Kiele Moana Nine, featuring the longest continuous stretch of ocean holes on any course in Hawaii.\u00a0 Kauai Lagoons Golf Club is a premier 27-hole facility recognized by Cond\u00e9 Nast Traveler<\/em> as one of the Top 125 Golf Resorts in the U.S. in the April 2011 issue.<\/p>\n

Designed by the legendary Jack Nicklaus, the renovated Kiele Moana Nine (formerly the Kiele Course back 9) received extensive upgrades including the addition of three new holes, more consistent TifEagle putting surfaces, white silica sand bunkers, and is highlighted by dramatic ocean views offering a spectacular run of ocean holes that stretch more than half a mile.\u00a0 The Kiele Moana Nine will be paired with the Kiele Mauka Nine (the original Kiele front 9), creating a signature 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Championship Kiele golf experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Kiele golf experience is legendary for locals and visitors to Hawaii, and we are thrilled to introduce an inspired layout that will make the experience even more memorable,\u201d said Bill Nault, Vice President, Marriott Golf.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Kiele Moana Nine represents the first of three revitalization phases for Kauai Lagoons Golf Club, which will also include the Kiele Mauka Nine (former Kiele front 9) and the Kiele Waikahe Nine (comprised of the best 9 holes from the former Mokihana Course).\u00a0 All renovated holes will feature new TifEagle putting surfaces, providing smoother putting conditions, and aesthetically pleasing white silica sand bunkers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Nicklaus, \u201cWith these changes, Kauai Lagoons Golf Club is going to be an incredible golf facility with a premier layout and immaculate course conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Upon completion of the project, Kauai Lagoons Golf Club will consist of three nines, providing 27 holes of Nicklaus-designed signature golf.\u00a0 Each nine will reflect its Hawaiian moniker and will be distinct with a character all its own.\u00a0 In Hawaiian, \u201cMoana\u201d translates to \u201copen ocean;\u201d\u00a0 \u201cMauka\u201d translates to \u201ctoward the mountain,\u201d and \u201cWaikahe\u201d translates to \u201cflowing stream.\u201d<\/p>\n

The elevated Kiele golf experience comes on the heels of a $50 million transformation that touched all hotel areas of the oceanfront Kauai Marriott Resort on Kalapaki Beach.\u00a0 The resort offers a contemporary look and feel with upgrades to all 356 guestrooms and suites, a redesigned Kukui\u2019s Restaurant and Toro-Tei sushi bar, and a new keiki (children\u2019s) swimming pool with water spout features and a slide, complementing the resort\u2019s 26,000-square-foot pool, the largest single-level pool in Hawaii. Additional on-site accommodations include Marriott\u2019s Kauai Beach Club co-located with the Kauai Marriott Resort, as well as Marriott Vacation Club\u2019s newest resort on Kauai, Marriott\u2019s Kauai Lagoons.<\/p>\n

To complement the debut of the Kiele golf experience, Kauai Lagoons Golf Club and the oceanfront Kauai Marriott Resort on Kalapaki Beach are offering the \u201cEscape to a Great Golf Getaway\u201d package at this extraordinary golf resort.\u00a0 The package is valid through October 6, 2011, and a minimum 2-night stay is required.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Marriott Golf <\/strong>manages 60 golf courses at 44 locations in 12 countries, offering more than 1,000 holes of championship golf.\u00a0 Marriott has been managing golf operations since 1970 and is one of the world\u2019s premier golf operators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
